In this chapter, the requirements for the systems-based design architecture for the integrated design of materials, products, and associated manufacturing processes—“rendering conceptual materials design more systematic”, “providing systematic, domain-independent, goal-oriented and multiobjective decision support”—are addressed. The component of the systems-based design architecture developed in this chapter is a systematic, function-based approach for the integrated design of the product and material concepts. The steel manufacturing process chain example is used in Chaps. 5 and 6 for validation of this component of the systems-based design architecture. The systematic function-based approach is used for addressing the requirement for systematic model integration and information and information flow. A concept exploration framework and a goal-oriented, inverse design (GoID) method are developed to address the requirements of “systematic concept exploration” and “inverse design exploration”, respectively. |
